Hi and Recomendations

#1 30.10.2007, 10:55

Hi all,

Just in the process of moving to somewhere in Switzerland. Looking forward to meeting some of you (I see you go out for beers often esp, in Zurich!! I don't like curry so will not fit in with the people in Basel)

Also can anyone recomend a quiet area of the Kanton of Zug where I cound find a nice 6.5 or so sized flat or house.

Many Thanks

Did you find out where to buy chocolate?

Welcome L! Let us know if you need advice on whether you make enough money to live here comfortably.

chemgoddess · #4 30.10.2007, 11:06

Welcome, good luck with your move.

Actually, I can't think of a place in canton Zug that wouldn't be quiet. No sarcasm there, totally serious.

It's really a pity you are leaving Stevenage. I read they are naming a road after you. What's it going to be called?

"Highway to Hell".... or have I been reading too many of the threads in the Compliants Corner....

I am assuming that you are the certain someone that got mentioned twice in this forum in regards to moving to Switzerland.... Lewis Hamilton moving to Switzerland and http://www.englishforum.ch/daily-lif...move-here.html.

I can think of a very specific flat that gets regular noise complaints for practising guitar...

Oh and so as not to hijack the thread, welcome to the forum LHamilton, I hope you like it here. If you fancy a quiet beer sometime let me know

The first beer with Terry may be quiet, but don't count on it staying that way much into the second.

You say that like it's a criticism...

Far from it. I probably wouldn't even know you existed if you where any other way.

Your teammate moved to Switzerland because of the same reasons you are moving now. I'm sure he can give you good tips how to smooth your move.

Hi L,
You might want to check out the boards in the Coop, they have flats there. Baar's a good location though there's some dodgy guitarists about... there's a good second hand car garage with some quality Fords for sale. Might help you to hit the road running!

We in Basel do not always eat curry sometimes its Thai or Chinese.

It is just the name that it was given. I love living in Basel and find the friends I have met here are wonderful.

Hope you find your perfect place as I have. Cheers

Welcome to the Forum Mr Hamilton. Great Intro

If you're still in Stevenage say hello to all at my old local The Lyton Arms in Old Knebworth. Just watch driving home though, the police watch that area and we wouldn't want you to lose your licence, would we?

You can run, but you can't hide.
